The current world record is held by a club called the Pickering Dragon Boat Club in Ontario Canada. It's151.5km.

Our target is to beat that and to take up the record to around 165km.

Ready. Everyone down. Six, seven, eight, nine and 10 and up.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 1: Back paddle ready.

ISABELLA RODD, TEAM SWEEP: I will one of three sweeps steering the GWR boat. So we just make sure that we stick to the course that's been set out for us, try and keep the crew encouraged and spirits high as possible. Make sure they keep focussed and just cheer everyone on.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 2: We did a 100km trial the other week and it was actually surprisingly good. So yeah, I think an extra 50km, 60km should be OK.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 3The team's done some really good time trials so far and from that there's some really promising results. So I think they've got it in the bag.

ISABELLA RODD: We're pretty pumped, yeah. It's exciting, the thought of our club here in Canberra breaking a world record. It's not something you hear about every day. So it's great to be a part of it.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 4: A little bit nervous, excited. I don't think I really will understand it until I'm sitting in the boat and it's probably 2 o'clock in the morning and I'll be going, oh what am I doing.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 5: Physically there, mentally there. We're ready.

ISABELLA RODD: Three, two one. Three two one. Give it more! Ten bring it up! Give it more! Deeper!

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 7: Scared. Excited.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 8: Flipping between the two.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 7: Yeah. The butterflies are going. The stomach is clenched.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 8: It's almost like Christmas when you're a kid. You're sort of hanging out for it to happen.

ICE DRAGONS ROWER 7: We're all very positive that we're going to do it. And wE're all fully aware we're going to be knackered but but it's going to be a very good knackered.

DAVID MILLER: That's it. No more training sessions. Get ready to take the world record on.

Bring it in. One last time for the Guinness. Three, two, one.

ICE DRAGONS: Hooa!

CHRIS KIMBELL: We wish them well and the world record attempt wraps up at 6 o'clock Saturday evening.
